car crash

[convoy hunter]

Yesterday just outside of my home an idiot driver was running fastly with his car and then he saw a cop car and hit the break and the half of the car was on the road and the other on the land right of the road and was 0.5 meters down the road. Then he tryied to start his car and the shaft which is underneath the car was broken because it was turning on the road and opened a hole in it. He is still outside my place.http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=309&pictureid=2176http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=309&pictureid=2177

Why would the drive shaft break from that?:06:
I think you need some serious hit from below to make it break.

Hey, it's a German car, it doesn't break down all by itself.:O:

But yes, speeding idiots are a PITA.

[convoy hunter]

It broke down from the crash when the car hit the safety bar on the side of the road.

Car looks like a POS anyways.

It's a VW Golf, one of the most successful cars in the world.;)

(But I don't like it too much myself too.:O:)

True, but give the original golf anyday. And as for that driver one word springs to mind - MUPPET!

Is that a monkey on the very right of the first pick? :-?

[krashkart]

Whoopsie! Good thing it was just the drive shaft he broke. :sunny:

It might be the driver of the car :DL

Is that a dog in the first photo on the right? I'll bet s/he found the incident exciting!! :D

Safety bar? :DL No wonder you guys lost your empire. That's a guard rail! A safety bar is something that comes down and traps you into the amusement park ride!

Of course that "car" looks like it was taken off an amusement park ride too! :D

Lovely looking dog there :yeah:

This crash though reminds me of a time when I was travelling home from college on the bus when we pulled up behind a learner driver in a BMW who had just run into the back of another bus and shunted his engine block forward. He was lucky away without trapped legs really, if the engine had been shunted back any more then it could have been more serious.
Anyway, we're all standing around the wrecked Beemer, a couple of the other college guys are having a smoke when we suddenly noticed the dripping petrol on the road. Suddenly all the cigarettes disappeared!

I would like to see someone light gasolene with a cigarette under normal conditions. I have put out a cigarette in a bucket of gasolene, in a jerry can and in a puddle of it, it just wont light. Open flames from lighers and matches are another issue though.

[krashkart]

The ignition temperature of gasoline is higher than the temperature of a cigarette cherry, from what I've heard. Not a bad idea to keep the smokes away from it, though. :DL

[antikristuseke]

The temperature is high enough, but the surface area of the coal is not large enough to transfer enough heat to cause ignition because coals are generally poor conductors of heat.

[Seth8530]

actual liquid gasoline might be hard to light but the vapors can sometimes be another story

[antikristuseke]

Vapors are allways in play when it comes to gasolene, when i put out acigarette in a bucket of gasolene, the cig first comes into contact with the vapours, then the gasolene itself, same deal with jerry can and puddle.
